The Disappearing Island

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ted Lewin. For Carrie's birthday, her grandmother takes her to a "disappearing island" off Cape Cod. Now visible only at low tide, the island once had homes and a lighthouse, but over the years the sea has slowly swallowed it up. Lewin's exquisite watercolors bring the quiet tale to life: Carrie's daydreams of the long-gone island community are strikingly rendered in orange tones, suggesting sun-bleached sepia prints.
